Late Aussie win may be the end for Gregan

AUSTRALIA skipper George Gregan’s international future is likely to come under renewed scrutiny after the Wallabies’ laboured 20-18 win over South Africa in the Tri-Nations.

Australia, who crushed the Springboks 49-0 in Brisbane just three weeks ago, needed a late try from replacement Mat Rogers and a sideline conversion from vice captain Stirling Mortlock to regain the Nelson Mandela Plate on Saturday.

The Australian media, which has been heavily critical of Gregan’s performances in the past few seasons, launched another scathing attack on the team and called for mass changes.
